The Castle: A novel | Anne Montgomery
2 posts | 1 read
Ancient ruins, haunted memories, and a ruthless criminal combine with a touch of mystic presence in this taut mystery about a crime we all must address. Maggie, a National Park Ranger, is back at the Castle an ancient Native American pueblo carved into the face of a limestone cliff in Arizona. Maggie, who suffers from depression, has been through several traumas: the gang rape she suffered while in the Coast Guard, the sudden death of her ten-year-old son, and a suicide attempt. As part of her therapy Maggie volunteers at the local rape crisis clinic. Maggie has several men in her life. The baker, newcomer Jim Casey, always greets her with a warm smile and fills pink boxes with sweet delicacies. Brett Collins, a scuba diver, is doing scientific studies in Montezuma Well, a dangerous cylindrical depression that houses a deep spring filled with strange creatures found nowhere else on Earth. Then theres Dave, with whom shes had a one-night stand, and her new boss Glen. One of these men is a serial rapist, and Maggie is his next target.

This pulled me in right away. The first chapter felt almost like horror with the chills it brought, though I‘d tend to classify this more of a thriller. Some chapters do show the POV of the new rapist in town, but we don‘t know who it is until the end, though there are a few possibilities. There are stats on rape included (both within the book and as part of an afterword) that I found interesting. I, of course, also loved the found little puppy
